100% sold on the RAM line but between Laramie sport and Rebels (the Rebel selection at the auctions is very slim for anything over the basic packages). From what I can tell from looking at images, the Laramie sport (literally the laramie that says sport on the side) has the same hood as the rebel, but not the fender guards, wheels (rim and tire), and grill.
I really love the look of the rebel, but I don't think I need to spend the extra cash to have that same look, will a Laramie with a rebelesque grill and off-road tires AND fender flares look the same or pretty close to the rebel? Also, the Laramie sport I'm looking at has all the bells and whistles, including air suspension (I'm in Florida so cold not an issue) split tailgate and ram boxes, for cheaper than most of the basic Rebels at the auction.
My other question is:
I test drove both of these vehicles and I felt good in both, I know many have said the upgraded suspension is really nice on the Rebel vs big horn, but compared to lets say the air suspension (which I assume on the rebel is the same as the adjustable air suspension on the Laramie sport) is the ride quality the same? A big thing for me is I wanted a vehicle that is extremely comfortable for long hauls, so I don't want to end up going through with my new Laramie idea and then not be getting the best ride comfort possible.
For those of you who are going to point out the off-road capability of the rebel, realistically it would most likely be wasted on me. I like the off-road look, but more than likely won't be doing more than a typical SUV could handle.
For comparison
Laramie sport on the left, rebel on the right.
